There will be thirteen fewer soc- tlons on the Prince Edward island Division of the Canadian National Railways today. New regulations, cflectlve on all C. N. R. line; out of Montreal, go into enact railway authorities in Charlottetown 3-m1°i1l1€ed last night. The change will mean the addition of from six or eight miles to tun length or the section depending on the amount of traffic on the line.

Sectionmen in the Province have been pron-suns against the change since it was first announcedearly this year. The same number of men are required but practically all the section foreman will have to move their place of residence, it was learned. The men claim that it means a financial loss in than .5 they have bought their own homes and may have to sell them at grant. ly reduced prices. on the mainland in some cases the railway provides homes for the section ‘ . Lighter rails and limited balluting of the roadbed in this Province and practically all the line: through cu]. tlvated lend necessitating constant care of fences, were other reasons given by the man for opposing the change.

Thirteen section ‘ revert to regular section men under the new arrangement, which provides for thirty sections in this province mere formerly there were forty-

Between Charlottetown and Bor- den eight miles is a section; be- tweenvsummersid and Tlgnish ten miles; on‘ the eastern line ten to fourteen miles and on the Murray Harbor branch twelve to fifteen miles.

At the recent session of the Legis- lature a resolution was unanimously adopted petitioning that the rail- way order regardlng section changes he not put into effect on this oc- casion but be deferred for one year “until a study has been made of the peculiar conditions existing on the Prince Edward Island Division of the Canadian National Railways."

P. or directional finding radio equipment, for aviation fields be- tween Newfoundland and Mont- real have been placed with Can- Idiln companies by the depart- ment of national defence, civil nvlnudi branch within the last lo days, it was learned today.

This preparation for reception of British airplanes making the. pro- posed trana-Atlantic trial flights of airmail and passengers this summer, was made in accordance with the agreement made with British aviation authorities at the Imperial transatlantic airways conference held in Ottawa last winter, though no definite infor-

mation has been received as to when the ‘ tended trial flights will take place.

At this “sub-imperial conference" as it was called the oanadian gov- ernment agreed to co-operate with -the British air minister and im- perial airway; by supplying weather information and radio direction equipment.

captain D. 1:. Fraser of New- foundland has been employed by imperial airways during the, last two years to make meierological surveys. Last year the two small planes with which he had been supplied were damaged in storms and recently he was given a mod- ern six-passenger plane Canadian built plan in which to make fur- there investigation; and under- take essential preliminary work. The “sub-imperial conference" set 11 days in Ottawa last winter

Mr. stockwell estimated ordinary revenue at $38,082,142 and o expenditure at $37,078,488 and re. viewed at length the financial situa- “°“ 07 the Drovince, stating "the Liberal government has maintained Quebec on a plane of financial stability.

Accounts for the current year will not be complete until after its close on June 30, 1936. of it Mr. Stock. well said: “Owing to the unglfls- factory conditions still prevailing as P983-rds unemployment which en- tails continued heavy demands on 0111' 8l>9nding departments it is not yet possible to definitely forecast results."

An improved trend in revenues, beslm 3 year ago. was being main- tained durlng the current year, he said. but estimated ordinary expen- ditures would be exceeded by sup. Dlcmentary estimates to be submit. ted shortly.

The Public accounts, he said, showed net funded debt outstanding invrea-led by $20,915,495 during th. fiscal year 1934-35. “Quebec pay the lowest interest rates (effective cost price) of any government in the Dominion of Canada," he said. It had the lowest per capita debt of any of the provinces and its credit “is still the best of any government authority in Canada."

A proclamation asserted if world workers had Joined in strikes and other measures to tie up shipping and land transport to and from Italy Premier Mussolini long ago would have been forced to discon- tinue the war in Ethiopia.

Accusing Japanese and Germans in particular of preparing for war, the proclamation said the Japanese are laying plans for “a decisive clash with the United States and Great Britain for domination of the Pacific."
